--- Comment #11 from Felix Schumacher <[email protected]> ---
The problem with functions already in use is, that we generally don't know how
they are used by our users. Changing the contract of those functions without a
good reason is not good.

Now, we agree, that we have a problem with the current state of the function
and therefore have to do something about it.

*default values* while not the best, they are not problematic per se, and I
think, we can leave them as is.

*timezoned vs. local time* the original implementation was local time, only.
The change to support timezoned data brought the current inconsistency into
play. Changing every format to use timezones, was driven by the fact, that we
could use  a simple code path for both formats. Do you now a way to
differentiate formats without trying to parse it as a local time format and
catching an exception on a timezoned one?
